REM enabledelayedexpansion allows variable reuse in the loops below

REM loop over a list of programs defined in strings as:
REM
REM <program path>[|<cwd>[|<override command>]]
REM
REM program path - the path to program you want to run
REM cwd - optional working directory to set for the program
REM override command - optional alternate command to run, in this case - launch through steam
REM
REM for each program definition
REM split the string to get the program, directory and command
REM get the executable name to check tasklist for
REM check if the program is already running
REM if it is
REM skip it
REM else
REM start the program
